    'Sir Jim said the politics of envy was driving people away from the UK.

    “In America they applaud people who create wealth,” he said. “Unfortunately the UK has got a bit of a green eye towards wealth at the moment.”’

    What a stupid fucking bastard. He genuinely thinks we’re all jealous of his immoral wealth hoarding, and believes he is a “wealth creator”.

    I don’t want £1,000,000,000 pounds in my bank account, mate. I want everyone on my street to have £30,000 in theirs.

    He made his billions from petrochemicals and hates paying taxes, so he’s as big a cunt as you initially thought when you read the headline.

    He never had confidence in the UK. He’s lived in Monaco to avoid tax for years. Real patriotic guy, this one.

    Well fuck off then. I’d say sell off your share in Man Utd but I’m scared someone competent would buy it and they wouldn’t be the laughing stock they’ve been for the last 10-15 years.

    I think billionaires should be burnt at the stake for extracting so much wealth from the working class and should take some responsibility for their actions. Why is Ratcliffe’s opinion worth more than mine? Is it maybe because billionaires have insane levels of power over politics and the economy?
